All I can say is, after essentially selling the game and the constant patches and nerfs and dickery on eventual PvP balance, if the dueling falls flat after pulling a Ghost on Team Deathmatch, they'll have done some rather impressive damage to their goodwill. I mean, more so than they already have with D3.

I didn't even buy this game to PvP, I just bought it to slash through hordes of demons, monsters, men and other such things. That was fun for a few run throughs. But overall, it would seem since their merger with Activision their company has been taking a turn for the worse.
Can't believe I forgot to ask about this.
Do you think there is a possibility that other companies might start doing this kind of thing (promising core features, then later dropping them long after the actual game has been released)? Has Blizzard now set a precedent with this?Atmos Duality said:

Reputation is important. Especially in a world where your product might only get a small window of recognition against hoards of competitors.
Blizzard had a great reputation for a long time, but this, I think they spent it all in one place.
Bait-and-switch is an old old trick employed in so many fields of entertainment, but the response is still pretty universal.
